Children will enjoy coloring the pictures while reading this retelling of the Christmas classic by Clement C.
Moore.
Pennsylvania Dutch Night Before Christmas blends Santa Claus with the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch figure of the Belsnickel, a thin, cantankerous old man who visits children before Christmas and rewards or punishes them based on their behavior.
The fun begins Christmas Eve, when the Belsnickel arrives on an old-fashioned plow pulled by cows and steers.
Havoc and humor erupt when the yuletide load proves a little too heavy for the farmeri1/2s roof The best-selling original book, Pennsylvania Dutch Night Before Christmas, is also avialable on audiocassette, read by the author.
